At the hostel, each room has a wardrobe. Ioanna's Hellenic Hospitality provides some units with sea views, and all rooms are fitted with a balcony. All guest rooms in the accommodation are fitted with a flat-screen TV and free toiletries.

Honestly, if I could give more than 10 I would! You will stay in Ioanna’s apartment. It’s a big apartment in which 2 rooms are for accommodating guests. You will have your own room and bathroom, which are comfortable and clean. You will have access to the kitchen with plenty of breakfast options. 15 min walk from the apartment there is a tram stop (T7) which takes you along the coast to the Piraeus port. Glyfada (the region of the property) also has nice restaurants and beaches. Ioanna is a wonderful host always looking for feedback and willing to give tips about the city. Wonderful hospitality! Extra points for Luna, her cute dog!

Great place to stay. The room was excellent and the beds really comfortable. What was the most beautiful part of the hostel was the rooftop. We hung out there for hours. Plus the night life of Kerameikos is really really awesome. Finally the staff people were really friendly and helpful and made us feel very comfortable. If you are traveling in Athens and you are on a budget, this is the place to live. I would totally recommend it.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Cozy hostel, friendly staff. Great way to travel on a budget and meet new people. Plenty of common areas, and that perfect view from the terrace - definitely worth a stay. Bed was comfy. Bathrooms nice and clean. Such a lovely cleaning lady attended every morning. Great location too - just 5 minutes walk from one of the 3 surrounding metro stations. Plenty of large and small corner shops, coffee and food places around the area. Would stay again without thinking twice. Thanks for a pleasant experience!

    It is very close to the center and convenient for tourist attractions. It is good value for money, we found it very cheap. The staff helped us with everything we needed and was always there. We booked online for two beds/bunk beds, and they were available in different rooms, but the hostel arranged for us to be in the same room, and we deeply appreciated that. Also, they have great luggage storage to leave before and after check out with big space and great security in the lockers.

    The hotel is nicely located in the city center, in a safe area, close to restaurants and bars. The staff was friendly and happy to provide me tips on the city, restaurants and so on. There is a nice rooftop open to the guests, and I was spending the late nights there looking at the Acropolis. The petit room is a bit small, but I think it’s a good deal for a single traveler on a budget, considering the great location.
